Trail Report/Photo Section/GPS CoordinatesBeen offroad with your FJ? Tell us about it and post up any photos or GPS coordinates so others can possibly follow in your footsteps!
Rose just told me that the Couger was rabid . She heard it on the news I'm not sure kid will need treatment for that. I guess thats why it didnt stop when it got shot the first time
The trail report and photos in your folder of the area are precisely why I love Arizona trails so much.
The situation with the cougar underscores why one must be prepared. Between the metaphorically rabid humans and the actually rabid cougars/coyotes/wild animals, one must be ready to protect those we love. I won't rant on the need for the right to keep and bear arms. There have been a lot of threads on that from the family in Utah whose son was taken and killed by a bear to the other similar incidents. However to remain unprepared in the face of so much to the contrary is absurd to me. Yes we have police and park rangers whose job it is to respond and to pick up the pieces after the fact. What an indictment of ourselves if the pieces they pick up are pieces of our children because we were too weak to protect them with the means available.
I'm sorry about the trouble with the FJ. It ended well from what you told us, but I can fully identify with the stress of dealing with it -- until 3 am.

Thanks for the "feeling the pain" response to my FJ misfortune. I am picking up all the parts from Toyota this morning. I hope when I get it all in , the alignment will be the last piece. I can only hope there isnt anything else wrong.
The situation with the animal is an eye opener. I don't beleive the cat would have stopped at a child, given the advanced stage of rabies it was in.. You are correct, I will be adding trail gear that makes big noise to my FJ
thanks
